Francia Raísa isn't talking about her relationship with Selena Gomez. While on a walk on April 30, a photographer asked the actor about the status of their friendship, but Raísa deflected the questions entirely. In the video shared by TMZ, in response to a question about their current relationship, the "How I Met Your Father" star simply said, "Sunday is so fun . . . I'm Francia, I'm hanging out with my dog," and went on to avoid further inquiries. She did, however, eventually respond to one question about whether she would consider donating a kidney again. "I would definitely speak to someone again about organ donation and the process," she said.
In 2017, Raísa donated her organ to longtime friend Gomez, whose ongoing struggles with lupus led to her needing a kidney replacement. Gomez consistently thanked Raísa on social media and in interviews in the years after that - but in November 2022, rumors of a feud began to swirl when Gomez told an interviewer that the only person she felt close to in the industry was Taylor Swift. Raísa then unfollowed Gomez on social media and reportedly commented "interesting" under a video of the interview shared by E! News, though the comment was later deleted. Shortly after, Gomez also commented on a TikTok about the alleged feud, writing, "Sorry I didn't mention every person I know."
In a March episode of the Apple TV+ "Dear . . ." series, Gomez appeared to try to put the rumors to rest, calling Raísa her "best friend." "I will never ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia. The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming," Gomez said. "I know I was so, so, so lucky. I understand that that doesn't happen for a lot of people, and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are, so I do not take it lightly that it's happened to me that way."
Reps for Gomez and Raísa did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment.
